And The Fun Begins

Our stuff finally got here from the UK yesterday and we have unwrapped most of the furniture and are starting to attack all the boxes today and for the next week or so until they are all unpacked or stored away. Meanwhile we are living in cardboard box city. We still have no idea if everything is here or if anything is broken, fingers crossed everything will be fine.

Having so much to get done, doesn't stop us having fun at the same time. There are three guest rooms in the farmhouse, as well as mine and Graham's bedrooms and offices. When we are talking about a room it is hard to know which one we are talking about and rather than being boring and numbering them, we have decided to name them. We had a discussion about what would be good room names, as we didn't really want to go down the "flower" route, as everyone does that, but we wanted something that would be fun and add to our guests experience when they stay here.

We thought about names of trees, names of the wildlife around here, though we thought many would object to being put in the boar room and not so much the wolf room. We thought about the elements, water, air, fire.. etc, mythical creatures and many others. But we decided on the Divergent Factions. If you haven't seen the film or read the books, each person is put into a group depending on their skills. So just for a bit of fun we took the test to see which faction was highest for us. I got Erudite, which was much higher than all the others, so my room will be Erudite and Graham got Amity, but his were all more or less equal. His room will be Amity. One of our shareholders took the test and got Candor, so we will know which room to put him in when he stays. Of course it doesn't matter at all if you don't match the room you stay in, it is just for fun and gives us a name for the rooms.
